I just completed my first PC build and wanted to explore overclocking my CPU. I'm unsure where to begin. Here are my specs:

Amd Fx 8350 4.00ghz 4.20turbo
MSI 970 gaming x mobo
MSI GTX 1060 6gb GPU
Kingston HyperX FURY 8gb (2x4gb kit)

I tried the overclock setting in the MSI gaming app with the OC Genie in the BIOS, but it kept the voltage around 1.46 while only reaching the CPU's 4.20ghz turbo speed. I read that using the OC Genie is best for experimentation to see what you can achieve without risking damage. I just want to avoid anything that might harm my components.
